The first time I watched Coraline was on a Valentine's Day date last year, and it creeped me out more than I expected it to. The trailer made it appear as a dark animated picture with scares targetted to those who have yet to reach their preteen years (because "tween" is about one of the dumbest words ever invented). With it being on the list of potential movies to watch on Halloween, along with other family friendly classics such as It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Hocus Pocus, and anything from the mind of Tim Burton, I thought it maybe a dimly lit idea to watch this movie again and alleviate any unsettling jitters that arose after the first viewing. It's not as creepy as the first time, but there's still something very uncomfortable about watching it, and I think I know why. It's interesting.Example #13 of what makes people silly: I wore my costume downtown after that party which was a great idea. Aside from the amusement that comes with some of the colorful people who have
just indulged in a little too much happy juice, we found another amusement in the stares from said people who saw me (namely since I was the only one visibly in costume). Yes, people, I did see you staring at me from the corner of my eye, and yes, I know I have stitches on the sides of my mouth, and yes, I also know Halloween is coming up. That turned out to be much more entertaining than I thought it would, and it was mainly because of silly people. Next time, I'm staring back, with a scary face thrown in here and there for good measure. Wow, Halloween is fun.I anticipate this will be a wonderful holiday season, just seeing how the days leading up to Halloween have already proved to be so. With the success that Thanksgiving turned out to be last year, I am looking forward to it again this year, because no matter how I feel, I will have my practically perfect default plan. And with the golden birthday coming up, perhaps a little bit more thought will be taken in actually celebrating with people, even if it does mean waiting for about a month again to do something. I'm also making other plans which are very exciting, fingers crossed, knock on wood, they will turn out the way they should (if not better, which I'm totally gunning for)!
We especially have to watch this movie on Halloween night because of my costume. I guess it doesn't hurt that it's a very fitting Halloween movie either:
